What was shown at the graduation concert of MGI at the Bolshoi Theater
On the historical stage of the Bolshoi Theater, the Moscow State Academy of Choreography (MGI) presented its graduates in two three -part concerts with different programs. 14 graduates have already taken to the Bolshoi Theater, including the favorite Tatyana Kuznetsovawho visited the first concert.
The regular graduation concert of the Moscow Art Theater this time turned out to be a double exam: in addition to the graduates, it was surrendered by the star ballerina Svetlana Zakharova as and. O. rector. For an incomplete season, she did an impressive job: all three traditional concert departments were completely updated. The program clearly postulated the concept: a timeless ballet exercise in the form of an “class-concert” Asaph Messerer, then-the numbers of modern choreography and at the end of the classic of the last century-an act from Laurencia ballet.
Something like this, all leading schools in the world try to imagine their students. However, in comparison with the era of the rectorship of Marina Leonova, there are differences: the 19th century completely fell out of the field of view of the school, and “contemporaries” were mostly younger (in comparison, say, last year’s Boris Eifman), which did not improve the quality of the material. « Modernity » is usually designed to show the individuality of students – bodily and mental. A struck was chosen a recent ballet “at the wrong time” of the Petersburger Alexander Sergeyev, the topic and vocabulary of which can be given 65 years – in full accordance with the name. So it is not surprising that the sluggish-smasal love novels of five out of six performers danced only with mechanical obedience. And on the contrary: Sofya Vasilieva performed solo from the criminal thriller of the “personality of Malligan” with a sincere feeling and bodily dedication, but this is a simple-heartily illustrative production-obviously not of those on which the taste of young graduates can be raised. The thin fluids of the “ghostly ball” of Dmitry Bryantsev did not penetrate into the bodies and souls of the students: only the skeleton of awkward supports remained from the love duet. Only the Chinese Fam for Min took the choreography of his compatriot Le Fyong Anya is close to her heart: in the “Freedom” number, his temperament and bodily capabilities were manifested as much as possible – and this is a rather meager “catch” for the 21st century.
The “class-concert” of the remarkable teacher Asaph Messerer, who was set by him in 1960 for the Moscow school, was in the editorial office of Alexander Zaitsev, who graduated from MGI in 1992 in the class of no less remarkable teacher Peter Pestov. The trouble is that the pedagogical principles of Pestov and Messerer are diametrically opposite: the first drove students with military severity, achieving the perfect purity of performance; The second turned hard work into a free and gambling dance. At the concert of MGGs, the editor of Zaitsev won. And the point is not even that his new combinations cut the eyes with straightforwardness, and lovely misanseas (like peeping youngsters behind the duo of older students) lost the game immediacy. The matter is in combat training: the old students of all ages, including a miniature, capable of soloist Japanese Mayuko Fudsia, performed tasks as if under the threat of a penal battalion. Only some of the confident virtuosos looked free: a girl who unscrewed the circle of tours-pike without the help of her hands, a stocky guy who, with a reckless speed, performed the pancakes of a large pirouette at a frantic pace. As well as the Favorite of the Observer “Kommersant” is the owner of a magnificent jump, a stately, high, perfectly complex Daniil Babkin, who has all the makings of the prime minister: he performed the EntreChat-Six series with such ease and wide amplitude of the asses, which would be envied by an experienced artist.
Oddly enough, the guys in the Soviet choreography of 85 years ago-the Laurence of Krein in the production of Vakhtang Chabukiani were liberated. The “wedding” act of this drama of MGI introduced the first time in its history, without stirring up to costumes and decorations. The hero of the premiere was a characteristic corps de ballet: in mass dance with the castengers, everything was correctly memorized with rounded elbows, did not jump on Sapateado, went too far with a sense of proportion, and most importantly, danced with undisguised pleasure. There were also good soloists in the gypsy, especially the black -eyed flexible Maria Rashevskaya, who shone with an unnecessary temperament and culture of a characteristic dance – it seemed hopelessly lost (however, they did not take a girl in a large one, so there was no need to wait for improvements to Don Quixote).
But Margarita Tyusheva, dancing Laurence, will definitely replenish the ranks of the big soloists: the graduate is already distinguished by extraordinary technology, self -control and endurance. She unscrewed the most difficult series of tours to Arabesk in one breath, she jumped easily and high, she had no problems with Adagio, except that she should remove an excessive “bird” in the foot. However, the young ballerina performed all her labor exploits with the busyness of Stakhanovka, completely ignoring the essence of what was happening – at her own wedding, she practically did not notice the groom. Her Frontoso, however, did not lose heart: the smiling Sergey Kalinich was played out in his own variations and code, equipped with jumping virtuoso by no means childishly. The young dancer struck the determination with which he stamped the cliffs of a complex party, but the oblique feet and crooked pirouettes said that it was too early for him to think about the premier parties.
The Bolshoy Ballet Khudruk, Makhar Vaziev, does not intend to finish the study of Sergei Kalinich: among 11 girls and three boys invited to the troupe of a large, brave Frontoso was not. The replenishment of the troupe, however, turned out to be a fair amount and, hoped, not heirly. Yes, a potential prime minister has appeared, potential prima – no. However, in the theater now they like to give leading parties of green youth, so it is possible that someone will appear. Moreover, the weak link in the school concert – a pseudo -reputable choreography – in the Bolshoi Theater so far, fortunately, plays an inconspicuous role.
